RE: cam removal issues

Take your timing chain gear put it back on the cam thread in bolt finger tight and use the gear for leverage to pull and stear....pull out very slow....watching cam bearings.....just go slow...lol

RE: cam removal issues

should just slide right out as long as the timing chain is off. You did remember to take out the lifters right?

RE: cam removal issues

Iused a 5 inch bolt thatthreaded into the cam, used it for removal and install. Did you remove the thrust plate? Just a thought.

RE: cam removal issues

I use a 3/8 piece of thread rod about 12 inches lond and when pulling a cam since lobes are offset you have to carefully wiggle it and rotate it past journals
